Ecology
Lamassu is a being of the Upper Planes, present in the world only when summoned, sworn, or sent on cosmic business. It is most often found in badlands regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights. As a legendary creature, it is rare in the world and likely the only specimen of its kind in the local region.
Behaviour
Lamassu is principled and deliberate, its actions tied to a cause it believes in. Its Lawful Good alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Lamassu is introduced in Kobold Press's Creature Codex (2018). Celestials originate in the Upper Planes, sworn to one of the cosmic ideals (good, law) that those planes embody. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
